Prediction of solubility in SuperCritical CO2 (SC-CO2) as a function of system pressure (P) and temperature (T) aids selection of process condition for extraction processes. Several equations have being used to correlate solubility as a function of P and T, but best-fitting procedures typically demand a large set of experiments. Previously, other groups have developed semi-empirical models to p...

A better knowledge of the transport and thermodynamic properties for the refrigerant+lubricant system is required to properly design the refrigeration circuit. This is essential also to develop proper models able to predict the behavior of the mixture refrigerant+lubricant depending on the working conditions. However, the experimental data available in literature are insufficient to build dedic...

The enzymatic synthesis of amoxicillin is catalyzed by Penicillin G Acylase (PGA). As byproducts, hydroxyphenylglycine and alcohol are also formed from hydrolytic reactions and antibiotic synthesis, respectively. The design of this process should be directed to promote the synthesis reaction. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the hydrolytic reaction of amoxicillin through its crystall...

The concentration of sulfur in Hanford low-activity waste (LAW) glass melter feed will be maintained below the point where the salt accumulates on the melt surface. The allowable concentrations may range from near zero to over 2.05 wt% (of SO3 on a calcined oxide basis) depending on the composition of the melter feed and processing conditions. If the amount of sulfur exceeds the melt tolerance ...

A series of poorly soluble BCS class II compounds with "grease ball" characteristics were assessed for solubility and dissolution rate in biorelevant dissolution media (BDM) with the purpose of investigating which molecular structures gain most in solubility when dissolved under physiologically relevant conditions. The compounds were studied in four media (simulated intestinal fluid in fasted (...

PURPOSE A predictive method was proposed to predict solubility of drugs in water-ethanol mixtures at various temperatures based on the Jouyban-Acree model. The model requires the experimental solubility data of the drug in mono-solvent systems. METHODS The accuracy of the proposed prediction method was evaluated using collected experimental solubility data from the literature. The proposed me...
